You may remember that Alanis Morissette previously accused her former house manager Maria Garcia of stealing their family dog Circus, but now Miz Garcia is speaking out!

Maria says that Alanis just didn’t want the rescue pup anymore because he peed and pooped everywhere, had health issues, and was an aggressive eater, so she told Maria to take him!

Reportedly, the dog owner has only seen her pooch once in the last year, and didn’t want him back when Maria asked.

So, now that Maria is being sued for $25,000 by her former employer, she’s telling her side of the story! She said she doesn’t have the money to fight the suit, but just wants people to know the truth.

Ms. Morissette will be working with veteran composer Tom Kitt, who helped adapt Green Day’s blockbuster American Idiot into a stage show, to turn all of the tracks of JLP into what we hope will be a smash hit! A workshop of the production is already planned for 2014!

But wait, it gets better — Alanis might be starring in the show herself!!!

She admitted to always wanting to take center stage and this might be her big shot! She explained though that she won’t decide if she’ll play the lead role just yet, saying:

Alanis Morissette is in good spirits, considering that a former nanny of hers is suing her for a boatload of money!!

We'll just go ahead and assume the smile is flashing for health reasons: Alanis has an INCREDIBLE body, and it's a happy thing to be able to take care of yourself like that! She is heading into gym after all, about to maintain what she's built!

That deserves a smile!

After the gym she can go back to being worried about being sued by Bianca Cambeiro, who is claiming $30,000 in unpaid wages and $100,000 in damages over pay and work conditions.

Until then, though, she can let her mind be free while she gets her sweat on!

This isn't the first time the 39-year-old's figure has caused controversy. As we reported in January, the American Pie stunner was accused of using Photoshop to make her already narrow waist even smaller.

Reid has admitted to getting plastic surgery in the past to make changes to her abdominal area and breasts -- but the actress asserts that she naturally has a lean shape.
